Vancouver 2010, Toronto 2015 (home town games, so how could it not be among your favourites ?). I really liked Turin 2006 as well...

I am not a Trudeau fan, far from it, but calling him a racist for a photo from 18 years ago is really stretching it.

Sri Lanka is eligible for wild card spots, and they will take any spot that lands to them. But I'd imagine shooting + weightlifting would be their priority.

Tbh repeatdly asking is not appropriate. Whats important here is paying your respects and that's it.

Women will see some non-traditional countries win medals. Nice.

Rest in peace, fellow Totallympian. Thoughts and prayers with the family. An awfully young age to pass away.

Woops lol

Final ski mountaineering quotas via the IF

Federation won't do it. There won't be funding I think, unless MLSE steps in.

Canada drew Ireland in both. Maybe we can harness the luck of the Irish ? @OlympicIRL

All team sports should follow the FIH model of Olympic qualifiers. Its simple, makes sure the best teams compete and is cost effective. No need to get fancy.

Congrats to Bianca Andreescu on becoming the first to win a tennis singles major! What a moment for tennis in this country!!

Best is without a doubt for me. Worst is

Can a country qualify a spot through individual sprint and Keirin (ie 2 quotas)?

" WCF member association representatives are discussing a variety of curling topics over the three-day event in Cancun. On Thursday, the WCF said a new world team ranking system for the three Olympic disciplines (women's, men's, mixed doubles) will start this season. The system, to be administered by CurlingZone, will ensure that all relevant competitive events are eligible to earn points and that there's a fair weighting of points distributed globally, the federation said in a release."

Even though it was in altitude, this is an amazing result! Amazing considering she was discovered through a talent identification program and told track cycling would suit her the bet, so she tried it and now look! Same program found Pierce Le Page...

Best: Winter: Without a doubt the Vancouver 2010 Games, which arguably were the best games of recent memory. Not only did Canada break its national record for total medals, Canada won a record 14 gold medal, which has yet to be surpassed, even with the two following editions have much more events. Those games were special for Canadian sport and it concluded with the last gold medal in men's hockey. Cannot be beaten I think in the future for Canadian sport. Summer: The COC looks like at overall medals first, so counting that Rio (holds tiebreak over Atlanta) for summer games. I did not include the boycotted 1984 games, which were by the most successful games for Canada. Worst: Montreal 1976 and Calgary 1988, only country to never win Gold in hosting a Summer Olympics, managed to repeat it in 1988. This is in contrast to Vancouver 2010. In recent memory, Athens was a disaster and so was London. So if the pattern holds, Tokyo looks like a disaster waiting to happen, but with all these new medal events, I am hopeful for a record total of medals (again excluding LA 84).

Interesting. SO in theory Canada is allowed to qualify a composite team?

If Brazil does not meet the standard in eventing how is the team spot reallocated?

And qualifies for Tokyo!!

Canada did not enter a men's 8 in 2016 to spread the talent among multiple boats for ex. It flopped however ...
